🇮🇪 Irish woman. Living in 🇵🇸 Mi’kma’ki / Nova Scotia 🇨🇦

Famine is always political.
I have no recollection of this woman in the media during Covid, but this story is wild.

The pandemic has such a long tail…

I got a large box of mangos for fifteen bucks last week. I wanted to make mango chutney.

Tonight, I finally found nigella seeds at an Indian food emporium of awesomeness near Penhorn Mall.

This chutney will be epic, and I will pair it with a jar of my rhubarb chutney for fancy Holiday gifts.

Himself and I have been having conversations about sharing the mental load and he’s trying to help so today he went and got the holiday drinks list for all our entertaining.

But he didn’t tell me.

So today I nipped into PL and got the holidays drinks list.

Anyways, hic.

Rip HBO.
Netflix has won the bidding war to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery, and is now moving forward with a deal potentially worth over $70 billion.

Should their bid succeed, Netflix would own DC Comics, Harry Potter, Hanna-Barbera, HBO, and more.

Mercury retrograde ends tomorrow so all the fuckery happened to me today. All of it.

I cannot believe it is last w/e in November and Monday is a new month. November is usually really hard for me mood-wise. The gloom and hints of the cold to come make me want to hibernate. That feeling, intersecting with the busyness of late Fall, is a deadly combo.

But was not too bad this year!

Every ten years some powerful woman throws it all in … for what…. and tells us to lean in or balance or work out or whatever.

And then they all get thrown away by patriarchy afterwards.

My socials are full of stories of how Colleen Jones touched people’s lives in Nova Scotia.

Like Manchàn Magan did in Ireland.

The power of public broadcasting to reach and lift up people and places through stories is a gift to ourselves we must never lose.

Hard to lose them both this year.
